Had to look at Esh's profile to realize that blade of chaos isn't actually an archetype, but a self-description. You might want to put that in your header Esh to avoid future confusion. But yes, I am in the wrong and she didn't hear anything. In future though, perhaps calling my attention to these things in a PM might prove more tactful when pressing an issue.
Waki: Yes, they are slowly growing. I was attempting to do thing in a way I forget less stuff.

The ancient mummy, a mere skeleton now breaks free from its prison, catching one of the hellknight armigers by surprise. Feeling ill-at ease, the Corenthynian guard step away and lashes out at Qiang with his guisarme!
Guisarme!:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Qiang deftly dodges the clumsy attempt upon his unlife.

Aiden darts between the tables and swings at the hellknight in a overhand strike as the man is growing in size. The Chelaxian spots the man's loose visor at the last second and he aims at a weak point.
Aiden uses an immediate action to Study Target on the red hellknight. Not sure if he draws the AOO for movement if they aren't finished growing. Attack (ST, flank):1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 18 Damage (ST, SA):1d8 + 6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + (4, 6) = 18
Aiden's longsword mangles the half-orc's face. He shrieks in pain as the guard on the walkway draws a javelin and looks at Djorn and Nectanebo, seemingly deciding between the two. Djorn looking to be less armored, he launches the missile at the man.
A wise choice, or so it seems, as the javelin pierces through armor to wound the Pathfinder. He steps back, as the woman in the back utters words of power, and a bolt of lightning starts coursing down the center row, passing straight through Aiden, Djorn and Nuo!

Djorn does not appreciate getting a piece of his own medicine, although, he now has another piece of amunition...
He likes even less being in the path of a lightning bolt.
Reflex:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
He manages to twist out of the way and avoid some of the damage.
He's quite battered, but not quite ready to retreat, just yet.
He pulls the javelin from his side and flings it, as well as another dart at the same man he hurled at before (Green again.)
Even as the dart is leaving his hand, he draws his quickdraw shield, holding it in front of him to mitigate the danger of any other javelins hitting him.
Using quickdraw on his shield to keep his AC at 21.
Spending another Focus from the Gloaming Shroud, The Dour Green Giant must make a DC 17 Will save or be shaken if it has more HD than I do, or frightened if it has as many or fewer!
Seeing the bolt of lightning tear apart his friends, Waki throws caution to the wind and trusts his invisibility to get him to the caster on the balcony.
Double move 80', still invis, but not trying to be extra stealthy.He will take his AOO if she tries to cast again.

(If Nectanebo happens to fell the red hellknight, Nuo would cure Aiden instead, channeling her spell through Qiang. However, as it is, she is going to try to down the big scary thing first)
Standard Action
Nuo casts Inflict Light Wounds, channeling her spell through Qiang and hoping to have the red hellknight fall.

Move Action
Not wanting to take another lightning bolt, Nuo moves out of the way.
Well looks like I lost a post describing how the red hellknight healed himself, the green one ran, and so forth. Oh well, we'll move on from here as if Esh had delayed because otherwise I'm never going to get the thread back.
Will Save (Green):1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4
The hellknight on the staircase gasps in horror as she moves to get away from Nectanebo.
Will Save (Green):1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Meanwhile, her companion slumps over, dead under Esh and Nuo's efforts. At the sight of that, the witch gives Esh a mean stare.
Give me a DC 16 will save against Evil Eye to your saves! That does not provoke!

Djorn pivots, focusing on the remaining Hellknight, this one garbed in green.
His hands fly as he flings a javelin and dart at the target, leaving him with one of the former and none of the latter.

Two move actions
Qiang moves Aiden's body more towards a side of the room. He doesn't want to have Aiden eat another lightning bolt. Dunno how encumbered it makes him but I'm assuming half speed.
He looks to Nuo expectantly with his hand on Aiden.

Standard Action
Nuo complies to the silent request and casts Cure Light Wounds, channeling it through Qiang and restoring Aiden.
Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Actually, since his turn was not yet up, Waki was just making it clear that he would take an AOO if she cast while he was adjacent.
He was just waiting for his turn to full attack her...which he will do now.
Waki, from his position of invisibility unleashes a flurry of blades upon the woman.

The tengu appears next to the woman....

While the museum-piece heads after the guard across the way (double-moving), Nectanebo, feeling pretty satisfied with himself, tries hectoring the feckless Hellion with his oft-neglected bow.

Nectanebo pouts at the shot, then catches Aiden's eye long enough to make a beckoning gesture. "Feeling a bit buried alive over there? Let the Vulture help dig you out...."
The woman cries out in surprise upon being ambushed by Waki, avoiding almost all but the most grievous of wounds, as she tries to fend off Esh's mental assault.
Will Save DC 15:1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 = 7
"My... my spells! What have you done? GUARDS, KILL HIM!!! KILL THEM ALL!!!!" she shrieks as her abilities are blocked away.
How do you give her a -2 to her Will?
Meanwhile, Nectanebo's arrow misses the retreating Hellknight.

Sorry! I should again have been more specific. It is indeed the hypnotic stare from the mesmerist class. I've been using it since the beginning of the scenario 1, so that's why I didn't specify more what I was doing.
Hypnotic stare (brace yourself):
Hypnotic Stare (Su): A mesmerist can focus his stare on one creature within 30 feet as a swift action. That creature takes a –2 penalty on Will saving throws. This penalty changes to –3 at 8th level. A mesmerist can maintain his stare against only one opponent at a time; it remains in effect until the mesmerist stares at a new target, the opponent dies, the opponent moves farther than 30 feet away, or the mesmerist falls unconscious or dies. The mesmerist can remove the memory of his stare from the target’s mind; the creature doesn’t remember that it was affected (nor does it realize that it is currently being affected) unless the mesmerist allows it. The hypnotic stare is a psychic effect, and relies more on the mesmerist’s focus than the target’s perception of his stare. It can’t be avoided in the same ways a gaze attack can. The mesmerist can use this ability even while blinded, but must succeed at a DC 20 concentration check to do so. Staring at a creature requires the mesmerist’s focus, so if he uses a gaze attack or similar ability, he must target the subject of his hypnotic stare or voluntarily end the stare. The penalties from multiple mesmerists’ stares don’t stack, nor do they stack with penalties from witches’ evil eye hexes. This is a mind-affecting effect.

The battle has quickly moved away from Djorn. Which is not a bad thing, as he can use a breather. Still, Pathfinders can't rest long and he moves up the stairs and toward the fray, drawing his wand as he goes and tapping himself with it to heal some of the damage from getting hit with a javelin.

While his servitor continues its pursuit of the un-gigantified guard double-move, Nectanebo, foreseeing an overcrowded melee otherwise, tries another shot....

Djorn is just a bit too far away from the red garbed guard to get to him...without doing something reckless. He charges the man, using his momentum at the last moment to swing his hammer in a massive overhead arc.
Working from my phone, guys. I can't manipulate my token. Can someone move me adjacent to the red guard?
...and appears to be pulling its punches, perhaps for old times' (that being a very relative term) sake.
Nectanebo takes another shot before closing in.
